Re: Regis Philbin on Live had a sleep study 7-7-09

Interesting, I would have sworn that I didn't sleep during my sleep study too. I was shocked in the next morning when the tech said I did.

Re: what is the advantage of a nasal mask over a full face one?

I've read through the definitions on in the "new user" section, so I have a handle on those. What I don't know is what numbers are gener...

M Series w/A-flex or S8 Autoset II?

Decided to buy a new machine. My older CPAP has no software/data recording options. I'd also like to "tinker" with some of the Auto CPAP options.
